What to do when you book 3 nights in a hotel only to find its in a gated, desolate, Russian community on a peninsula miles from anywhere. Simple, Road trip. Leave the glitz n glamour of downtown Nha Trang and head for the hills and the former French colonial hill station of Dalat for some cooler air, red wine and rain.

The negative impact of the coronavirus outside China is caused mostly by fear amongst travellers and precautions being taken by governments and airlines, not so much by the number of infections or fatalities. This impacts greatly on the nationals who work within the tourist industry, and who rely on their jobs to survive. Foreign investors continue to build their concrete monoliths, but in conversation the reality is empty hotels and restaurants leading to closure and unemployment for those who need it the most.
